Me to farmer: "Would be good if you could start providing field margins again." Farmer: "They [the government/defra] don't pay us enough for that I'm afraid" This was just a minute after he told me they were being paid to plant winter birdfeed cover mix in vacant fields. Bonkers.

Thought our tadpoles weren't growing very fast, put some mini cucumber in and they were straight on it!

Popped a garden pond in! Building one on a slope bit of a challenge.😄😄

Hedge on left overcut and swamped by vegetation, hedge on right left to look like a hedge and full of insects.

Trapping went well at Barrowby churchyard as part of their bio-blitz week. Some nice moffs.

My doodle of the Marston Hepatic Cuckoo turned a bit cartoony but I quite like it.
